Definitions for Judges
1:35

Became - Was exactly suited for; was fitting.

Clarke's Commentary on Judges 1:35

The Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres - They perhaps agreed to dwell in the mountainous country, being unable to maintain themselves on the plain, and yet were so powerful that the Danites could not totally expel them; they were, however, laid under tribute, and thus the house of Joseph had the sovereignty. The Septuagint have sought out a literal meaning for the names of several of these places, and they render the verse thus: "And the Amorites began to dwell in the mount of Tiles, in which there are bears, and in which there are foxes." Thus they translate Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim.

Wesley's Notes on Judges 1:35

1:35 House of Joseph - That is, of the Ephraimites, who helped their brethren the Danites against the Amorites.
